Many of us have mixed feelings about ROC, and there are lots of Tankers who are saying either "ROC is junk except for..." or "The ROC stuff is great except for..." So, discuss those figures you've made exceptions for (either by buying or not buying)
I've been pleasantly surprised by a lot of the ROC stuff, and have bought quite a bit. However, some stuff I just cant bring myself to buy. Cover Girl - hottest girl in ROC (Slavic girls ftw), but hideous face sculpt. I have hope that they'll get Baroness right in future versions, but doubt that they'll bother to fix Cover Girl. Have had her in hand several times and always put her back. Helix - I know she's a Holy Grail figure for many, but I don't get how so many who deride some of the ARAH figures as Village People are drooling over this Hot Topic employee. Heavy Duty - I actually bought the the armored version, but there's gonna be some head-swapping going on. TRU Barbecue - Orange BBQ was lame, but bright yellow is cool? To each their own... Arctic Viper - Although I like them, I have too many Snow Serpents and can't figure out how he'd fit in. Eel - Have had in hand twice, but put it back. Deep Six - Torpedo repaint...not interested. various Vipers - Have one each of Neo, Commando, Crimson, and Elite, but no Troop Building. Maybe if the Elite's head had some paint apps... CC - I have one, but as custom fodder. CC he isn't. The PIT - not touching this. Night Raven - These aren't moving at all. Slight chance I might buy one on sale, but most likely will grab an original and modify it. Ferret - When its blue again, I'm there. I'm on the fence with Desert Duke, Breaker, Zartan, ponytail Scarlett, Shipwreck, and a few others. Waiting for multipacks. Favorites: Desert Ambush Scarlett, TRU Firefly, and all Paris Pursuit figs...just need to leave Baroness with her glasses on. What ROC stuff did you either break down and buy or (if you're a big ROC fan) what did you leave on the pegs? |

I picked up Baroness, I'm planning on picking up Scarlett (in armor), and that's pretty much it.

What ROC stuff did you either break down and buy or (if you're a big ROC fan) what did you leave on the pegs? so far i bought pp snake eyes w grey timber helix elite viper firefly cobra eel want pp snake eyes blk timber ( trade pending ) rex lewis rex lewis white coat night adder not buying any loose roc figs , playsets, vehicles unless it is a 25th style orginal. not sure about the roc night raven , dragonhawk , cobra hydra. might buy a few each for my loose army . but only if the old 25th style goes with it. for the roc figs do not look good next to 25th figs. in saying all of that i will be buying extra roc troop builder figs , as i come across them. like pit commandos, elite vipers, and cobra eels. these i will gladly trade for old 25th stuff that i still need.

I haven't been very selective buying ROC stuff yet. I have mostly completed buying what figures are available in my area. I think i need 7 more that are still around here and 10 more that i haven't seen around here yet...I am a little behind on getting the vehicles though...lol

I would buy a Night Raven but it doesn't look like a $40 toy to me. I would pay $30 without much thought but no way is it worth $40.
